Saint Francis of Assisi school was opened in 1929. We presently
occupy three buildings, with the Pre-School classes held in the building
adjacent to Conway Hall. The stone school building contains classrooms
for Kindergarten, Grades 1-3, main office, computer lab, nurse's
office, Delaware County Intermediate Unit remediation and counseling
room. The brick building presently contains classrooms for Grades 4-8,
principal's office, faculty room, Honors math classroom and contains a
combination auditorium/gymnasium. St. Francis of Assisi School has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools since 1984.

This event kicks off Catholic Schools Week each year and is focused on bringing all SFA families together following our opening liturgy for a large pot luck dinner. A sign up will be sent to each family, requesting you to provide the number of people from your family attending and what dish you will be provided for the potluck event that evening. There is a large array of food for all to enjoy that evening with our 8th graders serving as “staff” during the event. To cap off the night, students from each grade are invited to participate in the lip synch contest. Students prepare for this with several of our teachers for the week leading up to the event. It is always a great night for all.

Our premier adult event of the year! Francis Fest is the largest parish fundraiser held each year. Funds raised from the event are dispersed among the parish ministries for assistance with their needs throughout the year. Each year this is a themed event with opportunities for sponsorship, donation and volunteering. This event does not come together without volunteers from our parish in all ministries. There are many volunteer opportunities available for this event. Planning for this event begins at the end of 2018

This event returns after a break. This is a great adult event focused on team fun in a traditional quizzo game setting. Participants are required to purchase tickets prior to the event and can set up teams and tables for the evening. This is a BYOB and snacks event.

This is our final home and school event of the year. A Night of the Arts was established in 2018 as a way to incorporate our final Band Concert, Recorder Concert performed by our 3rd grade students and a show case of the art work of our students for all to see. Awards for student art work are announced this evening. Light refreshments are served and we welcome all SFA families, students and friends to attend to experience the talents of our students.

Last year was the 1st year we welcomed this event to SFA. Due to weather conditions we were forced to have this event in our gym. By chance and thanks to the weather, it was an extreme successful indoor event and the feedback we received was positive to keep this an indoor event. We plan to do the same thing this year. This will be held on Sunday, October 28, 2018. Ticket sales will begin approximately 4 weeks prior and will be available up to the week of the event. All tickets include entrance to the event as well as a Halloween bag for goodies. Last year we had approximately 25 "trunks" for our trunk or treaters and look to meet or exceed that this year. Our event had some incredibly creative trunks (tables) decorated and provided some awesome candy for all who attended. Firehouse donuts and water are provided for all attendees. Be on the lookout for Ticket ordering in early October!

The annual dance-a-thon is held for all students in our gym! Parents are welcome to come to SFA the day of the dance-a-thon to watch our students participate in our Halloween Parade prior to entering the dance-a-thon for the day. A Hotdog lunch is provided for all students. Each student is asked to fundraise for this event annually to assist in raising funds for our technology needs each year. Each year, Miss Carroll looks to provide technological upgrades such a increasing and updating our wireless capabilities on campus, providing new projectors, white boards, and any other technological needs that may arise on our campus. More information will come from Miss Carroll regarding this event. It is a great day of dress up, dancing and fun for our students! Parents are welcome and encouraged to come to campus and watch!

Welcome back students and parents, it is the first day of school! Moms and Dads stop in to Conway Cafeteria for some light morning refreshments after dropping your student off at school to meet some members of our Home and School Board as well as meet other Moms and Dads in our SFA community.
